Power Word of the Day

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:3-5

Reflection

1-Have you reached a place in your relationship with God where you can rejoice in your suffering? Or are you still not able to look past your moment of suffering to the One who can handle your situation?2- Can you look back over your moments of suffering and see how God help you persevere?3- Does your character reflect that of Christ? What helps to change your character and make it more Christ-like?4- Our suffering has lead to our developing the ability to press on in times of trouble. Christ pressed on to the Cross, He saw beyond His suffering to a greater hope, our reconciliation to our Creator. Are you seeing the hope we have in Christ?5- Why are you not disappointed in your hope? What has God done to seal your hope?

God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given to us, to help us in our suffering and because we have the Holy Spirit we can rejoice because we know we are being helped to develop our character until we reflect Christ in all circumstances, knowing our hope is greater than our suffering.

Living the Word

Lord I Shall Mediate On Your Word

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanders or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbnds, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5

Reflect in your heart and be still. (Psalm 4:4)

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:9

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Spiritual Pearls

Faith- A woman of FAITH is a woman with courage knowing she can conquer all things with Christ. Living in FAITH means doubt is a foreign word to me. Each morning she calls on God. "give me a spirit of FAITH today."

Gentleness-The GENTLE woman lives from the inside out. She allows the Spirit of God to lead her with strength, confidence, and wisdom. Her power is not in being the center of attention. She moves softly in loving kindness, gently changing her world to become more like the kingdom. Each morning she arises and God hears her voices as she brings her requests, praying to no one but the Lord and waits expectantly for His still, quiet voice.

Grace- The woman of GRACE shines her favor on all crossing her path. She seek ways to be kind, and giving to others. Each morning she ask God to help her to give GRACE as He has so kindly bestowed His GRACE on her.

Humility- The woman of HUMILITY knows all she is, and all she does is because of God working and living in her. The Savior is HUMBLY living through her. HUMBLY waiting for her to speak, "Savior I invite You to take the lead and I HUMBLY give You the Glory."

Joy-The woman of JOY knows the Lord is the JOY of her Salvation. The world does not touch her soul no matter what it brings her way. Her JOY is in the Lord. Each morning she says to God, You are my JOY O'Lord and none other.

Peace- The woman of peace does not engage in any activity that promotes discord, chaos or confusion. She is the one who brings PEACE in the midst of trouble. Each morining she ask God for a spirit of PEACE.

Praise- A woman of praise knows God inhabits her praise. Each morning her lips flow with PRAISE and she says to God today Your PRAISE shall continually be upon my mouth.

Prayer- The woman of PRAYER seeks intimacy with God. Each morning she speaks, "Lord keep me in constant communication with You". Each night she says "Lord I thank You because I have been with Jesus all the day long."

Purity-A woman PURE is a reflection of God and His purity. Each moring she prays to the Father cleanse me of all sin, wash me in the precious blood of Jesus, that I may stand before you PURE.

Self Control- The Woman who has SELF-CONTROL is walking in control of all areas of her life. Each morning she speaks with Jesus asking Him to be Lord of her life controlling of her actions becoming a sweet aroma unto Him.

Truth- A woman of TRUTH lives her life honestly, with integrity. She is not fake, and lives authentically, even if she must speak TRUTH gently to those she loves and care about. Her soul will not allow her to live in any other way. Each morning she says to God. Let Your TRUTH flow from me today.

Worship- A woman of WORSHIP bows down her life to God. Each morning she bows down asking God to led her into WORSHIP, let every word, thought, act, step, be in WORSHIP to You, My Lord!

Words of God the Christ

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule."You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. "You're blessed when you're content with just who you are - no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought."You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat."You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'carefull,' you find yourselves cared for. "You're blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and heart - put right. Then you can see God in the outside world."You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family."You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom. Matthew 5"3-10
